Is it acceptable to divide the tank with something when feeding?

Here's why I ask...

I have one Lutino Oscar about 5 or so inches in length. His tank mate is an Orange Pike Cichlid (kinda looks like a trout)

The oscar, although reluctant at first has become a very active eater the last couple days (i know thats not really a bad thing)

The pike has had no chance to eat anything since yesterday, because the Oscar has become incredibly greedy...

The only way i can think of overcoming this is to divide the tank somehow... only during feeding... Only problem is i'm not sure what to use. I was thinking a piece of plexiglass, but i would think it would need to be opaque to keep the oscar from banging his head on it tryin to get to the food on the other side.

Anyone else ran into this problem? any other solutions you can think of?

Should i just trade the pike for something more competitive? I'm at a loss and really dont wanna lose my pike.

Any suggestions/concerns/advice welcome

Thanks in Advance

i don't see any reason why should you put a divider.
just give them enough food, oscar will stop grabbing
foods once full loaded. whatever left will be for the
other fishes. then after 5 minutes, all unconsumed food
should be removed to lessen the bio-loads.

imho pauls got you covered:)

I had to lure Os-Kar (black) to a corner to feed. Roscoe waited patiently in the middle to be fed. Now they each take a side at feeding time. No fighting for food. Very charismatic fish.
